Announcing the GeForce 10 series products, Nvidia introduced Founders Edition graphics card versions of the GTX 1060, 1070, 1070 Ti, 1080 and 1080 Ti. These are what were previously known as reference cards, i.e. which were designed and built by Nvidia and not by its authorized board partners. These cards were used as reference to measure ...
In the middle: the FOSS stack, composed out of DRM & KMS driver, libDRM and Mesa 3D.Right side: Proprietary drivers: Kernel BLOB and User-space components. nouveau (/ n uː ˈ v oʊ /) is a free and open-source graphics device driver for Nvidia video cards and the Tegra family of SoCs written by independent software engineers, with minor help from Nvidia employees.
All cards have a PCIe 2.0 x16 Bus interface. The base requirement for Vulkan 1.0 in terms of hardware features was OpenGL ES 3.1 which is a subset of OpenGL 4.3, which is supported on all Fermi and newer cards. Memory bandwidths stated in the following table refer to Nvidia reference designs.
Nvidia NVDEC (formerly known as NVCUVID [1]) is a feature in its graphics cards that performs video decoding, offloading this compute-intensive task from the CPU. [2] NVDEC is a successor of PureVideo and is available in Kepler and later Nvidia GPUs. It is accompanied by NVENC for video encoding in Nvidia's Video Codec SDK. [2]
Device Dependent X (DDX), another 2D graphics device driver for X.Org Server; The DRM is kernel-specific. A VESA driver is generally available for any operating system. The VESA driver supports most graphics cards without acceleration and at display resolutions limited to a set programmed in the Video BIOS by the manufacturer. [15]
Community-created, free and open-source drivers exist as an alternative to the drivers released by Nvidia. Open-source drivers are developed primarily for Linux, however there may be ports to other operating systems. The most prominent alternative driver is the reverse-engineered free and open-source nouveau graphics device driver.
Painting of Blaise Pascal, eponym of architecture. Pascal is the codename for a GPU microarchitecture developed by Nvidia, as the successor to the Maxwell architecture. The architecture was first introduced in April 2016 with the release of the Tesla P100 (GP100) on April 5, 2016, and is primarily used in the GeForce 10 series, starting with the GeForce GTX 1080 and GTX 1070 (both using the ...
